Hello, This series adds support for Command Duration Limits. The series is based on linux-next tag: next-20221205 The series can also be found in git: https://github.com/floatious/linux/commits/cdl-v1 ================= CDL in ATA / SCSI ================= Command Duration Limits is defined in: T13 ATA Command Set - 5 (ACS-5) and T10 SCSI Primary Commands - 6 (SPC-6) respectively (a simpler version of CDL is defined in T10 SPC-5). CDL defines Duration Limits Descriptors (DLD). 7 DLDs for read commands and 7 DLDs for write commands. Simply put, a DLD contains a limit and a policy. A command can specify that a certain limit should be applied by setting the DLD index field (3 bits, so 0-7) in the command itself. The DLD index points to one of the 7 DLDs. DLD index 0 means no descriptor, so no limit. DLD index 1-7 means DLD 1-7. A DLD can have a few different policies, but the two major ones are: -Policy 0xF (abort), command will be completed with command aborted error (ATA) or status CHECK CONDITION (SCSI), with sense data indicating that the command timed out. -Policy 0xD (complete-unavailable), command will be completed without error (ATA) or status GOOD (SCSI), with sense data indicating that the command timed out. Note that the command will not have transferred any data to/from the device when the command timed out, even though the command returned success. Regardless of the CDL policy, in case of a CDL timeout, the I/O will result in a -ETIME error to user-space. The DLDs are defined in the CDL log page(s) and are readable and writable. For convenience, the kernel provides a sysfs interface for reading the descriptors. If a user really wants to change the descriptors, they can do so using a user-space application that sends passthrough commands, one such application is cdl-tools: https://github.com/westerndigitalcorporation/cdl-tools DAMIEN: need to change the settings on the repo so that it public ============================== How to use CDL from user-space ============================== Since CDL is mutually exclusive with NCQ priority (see ncq_prio_enable and sas_ncq_prio_enable in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-device), CDL has to be enabled using: echo 1 > /sys/block/$bdev/device/duration_limits/enable In order for user-space to be able to select a specific DLD for an I/O, we have decided to reuse the I/O priority API. This means that we introduce a new priority class (IOPRIO_CLASS_DL). When using this class, the existing I/O priority levels (0-7) directly indicates the DLD index to use. By reusing the I/O priority API, the user can both define DLD to use per AIO (io_uring sqe->ioprio or libaio iocb->aio_reqprio) or per-thread (ioprio_set()). ======= Testing ======= With the following fio patch that simply adds the new priority class: https://github.com/westerndigitalcorporation/cdl-tools/blob/main/patches/fio-3.29-and-newer/0001-os-linux-Add-IORPIO_CLASS_DL-definition.patch CDL can be tested using fio, e.g.: fio --cmdprio_percentage=10 --cmdprio_class=4 --cmdprio=DLD_index A simple way to test is to use a DLD with a very short duration limit, and send large writes. Regardless of the CDL policy, in case of a CDL timeout, the I/O will result in a -ETIME error to user-space. In case of using a SATA drive, you might want to disable the write-cache: sudo hdparm -W 0 /dev/$bdev We have tested this patch series using: -real hardware -the following QEMU implementation: https://github.com/floatious/qemu/tree/cdl =================== Further information =================== For further information about CDL, see Damien's slides: Presented at SDC 2021: https://www.snia.org/sites/default/files/SDC/2021/pdfs/SNIA-SDC21-LeMoal-Be-On-Time-command-duration-limits-Feature-Support-in%20Linux.pdf Presented at Lund Linux Con 2022: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I6ChFc0h4JY9qZdO1bY5oCAdYCSZVqWw/view?usp=sharing Kind regards, Niklas & Damien Damien Le Moal (14): ata: libata: simplify qc_fill_rtf port operation interface ata: libata-scsi: improve ata_scsiop_maint_in() scsi: support retrieving sub-pages of mode pages scsi: support service action in scsi_report_opcode() block: introduce duration-limits priority class block: introduce BLK_STS_DURATION_LIMIT ata: libata: detect support for command duration limits ata: libata-scsi: handle CDL bits in ata_scsiop_maint_in() ata: libata-scsi: add support for CDL pages mode sense ata: libata: add ATA feature control sub-page translation ata: libata: set read/write commands CDL index scsi: sd: detect support for command duration limits scsi: sd: set read/write commands CDL index Documentation: sysfs-block-device: document command duration limits Niklas Cassel (11): ata: scsi: rename flag ATA_QCFLAG_FAILED to ATA_QCFLAG_EH ata: libata: move NCQ related ATA_DFLAGs ata: libata: fix broken NCQ command status handling ata: libata: respect successfully completed commands during errors ata: libata: allow ata_scsi_set_sense() to not set CHECK_CONDITION ata: libata: allow ata_eh_request_sense() to not set CHECK_CONDITION ata: libata-scsi: do not overwrite SCSI ML and status bytes scsi: core: allow libata to complete successful commands via EH scsi: move get_scsi_ml_byte() to scsi_priv.h scsi: sd: handle read/write CDL timeout failures ata: libata: handle completion of CDL commands using policy 0xD Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-device | 143 +++ block/bfq-iosched.c | 10 + block/blk-core.c | 3 + block/blk-ioprio.c | 3 + block/ioprio.c | 3 +- block/mq-deadline.c | 1 + drivers/ata/acard-ahci.c | 8 +- drivers/ata/libahci.c | 171 +++- drivers/ata/libata-core.c | 219 ++++- drivers/ata/libata-eh.c | 139 ++- drivers/ata/libata-sata.c | 111 ++- drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c | 414 +++++++-- drivers/ata/libata-sff.c | 10 +- drivers/ata/libata-trace.c | 2 +- drivers/ata/libata.h | 6 +- drivers/ata/sata_fsl.c | 5 +- drivers/ata/sata_inic162x.c | 14 +- drivers/ata/sata_promise.c | 2 +- drivers/ata/sata_sil24.c | 7 +- drivers/ata/sata_sx4.c | 2 +- drivers/scsi/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/scsi/ipr.c | 11 +- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_ata.c | 11 +- drivers/scsi/scsi.c | 28 +- drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c | 49 +- drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 13 +- drivers/scsi/scsi_priv.h | 6 + drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_sas.c | 2 +- drivers/scsi/sd.c | 37 +- drivers/scsi/sd.h | 71 ++ drivers/scsi/sd_cdl.c | 894 +++++++++++++++++++ drivers/scsi/sr.c | 2 +- include/linux/ata.h | 11 +- include/linux/blk_types.h | 6 + include/linux/ioprio.h | 2 +- include/linux/libata.h | 44 +- include/scsi/scsi_cmnd.h | 5 + include/scsi/scsi_device.h | 8 +- include/uapi/linux/ioprio.h | 7 + 39 files changed, 2225 insertions(+), 257 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/scsi/sd_cdl.c -- 2.38.1
